Er, I don't think so. For several hundred years it was in Blackburn.

Seeing as my great grandad, whom I knew and loved, was on the Somme carrying off dead and injuried bodies, and my Aunts father was gassed at Ypres, I was disgusted with Eric and see it as a personal insult on my family and this town the way he turned down the Freedom of the Borough the way he did.

Good grief man. really? can you get any lower than this... your clutching at straws and starting to embarress yourself.. show some dignity and walk away now

We don't agree very often Kipax, but I have to agree with you this time. This latest statement from Jones is nothing more than attention grabbing rhetoric. Absolutely disgusting and an insult to anyone referenced.

Mr Jones what a below the belt response im sure many people can say that about their grandfathers & they'd be insulted to be brought into a cheap shot arguement thats irrelevant.

So what if Eric turned down the freedom of the Borough...... does he have to accept it?!?! Thats upto Eric to accept or turn down the offer as he has well thats life get on with it.

To be honest i admire teh defending of the club erm eric fan club but really this tittle tattle as to this thread is a bit nonscence & really the concentration should be upon our club teams shaky defence !!

Well put Kipax.

With every post Councillor Jones makes himself more ridiculous, he's everything I've come to expect from a politician. If he can't supply the full facts maybe he should have kept his gob shut.

I think Rob's statement on the Fishy site is a well written and dignified response from the club, and shows a lot of qualities that have been sadly lacking in Councillor Jones' posts.

is it really councillor jones or is it an imposter

at least eric has saved us some council tax money by refusing the councillors a junket and free meal

All

This does the club or the town no good. I do a Podcast on the web which covers Football in General but one part of the show is the Stanley watch. What do you think the majority of the feature will cover this week, you guys have given me soo much amunition it is silly. I am from accrington and very proud to be form the town, i now for work reasons live abroad. this is the public face of the club and the town which is being shown to the world mud slinging in public will only do everyone harm. I will probably brush over this in my show but what about others looking for this weeks easy story????

Sorry Kipax but this is not a dead subject it will come back mark my words.

Oggy · 19-12-2006, 20:09

Well, spartans53, that's ten posts and ten adverts.

10/10, go to the top of the class and give the pens out

KIPAX · 19-12-2006, 20:21

What I posted was true.. it was dead.. now it isnt... hardly rocket science...

and too right it will come back.. i will bring it back up to the top myself when mister jones here is up for election...

fettler · 19-12-2006, 20:38

Councillor Mr Jones is only able to spout the political retoric because some less than well informed voters elected him. If he is as bad as people have said on this site, then he will NOT be re-elected. Now, bacl to more pressing matters......the roof over the Clayton End.......lol

anybody up for canvassing on behalf of every other candidate at election time?

No, it would be a Tory, but maybe we've got someone amongst us who could stand, we've got till 2008 by my calculations.
